during the initial Astrologian quest the following bit of text showed up and piqued my interest.

'have you learned nothing from the Nymians? the Amdapori? the Mcachi?'

given two of those three were involved in the war of the mages, could it therefore be that the other is the third as yet unamed one?

This is extremely exciting. Maybe we should have a spoilerific thread with things like this we pick up on.

This is a good idea. I am keeping a lore-tracking thread on my FC's forum.  I have taken SO many screenshots of dialogue - which I keep on doing - which I then piece together in spoiler tags for later reference.

Also, proof that not every job is the soul crystal teaching you: after you learn the skill for the mch quest line, it states that it is your tutor teaching you.

Drk doesnt chanel the void, it is closer to Warriors Inner Beast.

Dark quest so far is pretty interesting.

It also states that your MCH "soul crystal" is artificial - and actually used as a sort of power source or something to the device that lets you weave aether into your shots.

Changed the title. Use this as a place to dump 3.0 lore

I'd appreciate it if you shared some of those dialogues you found interesting. That'd be awesome.

DRK SPOILERThe nature of Dark Knights is pretty unusual. They channel the aggressive, dark parts of the personality in the form of magic. The more powerful they become, the more powerful that repressed personality becomes. When it is strong enough, it will actively contest the Dark Knight for supremacy over their body, effectively rending their soul in two. A Dark Knight must keep both aspects of his soul in balance to retain control of their body. This means being truthful and accepting of the dark parts of your soul and confronting them on an active and consistent basis.

Dark Knights shed worldly possessions in an effort to calm the storm in their soul and better connect themselves to their emotions, as well as being a symbolic effort to the first Dark Knight of the Order.

Playing for 25 hours without stop, I came across some veeeery interesting things. Beware, this is spoiler heavy.

First of all, the fact that apparently all aevis are heretics that had drank of the dragon blood, thus attaining dragon form.

One of the major points of interest is that all ishgardians have trace of dreadwyrm blood running through their veins; the blood of Ratatoskr, sister of Nidhogg and Hraesvelgr. That makes them vulnerable to the dragon influence.

EDIT: Also, long long time ago, all manner of chocobos could fly. They lost the ability cause lack of necessity.

This is very interesting all by itself. If soul crystals can be artificially created it could open a lot of doors on different jobs and RP.

This is more or less Asmodean and Moridin. >.>;;; I may have to find a way to make Asmodean a DRK at some point in time.
